Medication at School

When possible, parents and physicians are urged to have student medication administered outside of the school day. If your student needs to receive medication, either prescription or non-prescription, during school hours, you must provide the following:

Physician Note

Submit a written note from your student’s prescribing physician stating:

Name of medication

Dosage

Time and dates to be given

The reason it must be given during school hours

Possible side effects

We will accept faxed authorization from a health care provider. Please call our school office for the fax number.

Parent/Guardian Note

Submit a note giving permission for your student to receive the prescribed medication at school.

Medication in its Original Container

Medication must be brought to school by a responsible adult in the originally labeled container with the student’s name. If you are unable to bring the medication to school, please call our school nurse before sending it.
